As another year is comes to culmination most of you are at home with your families eating roasted bird and watching the flashing lights on a wilting pine tree.
Some of you are on the road to the gig, some of you about to go play it. Some of you are about to hit the streets to throw up your latest stencil, or head over to the neighbours in your new hoodie and a bottle of the finest. Some of you are doing grinds on bus stops and maybe even some of you are dancing the bus stop.
To all of you i wish a prosperous 2005 and look forward to the next year with much anticipation. Much love to all.

She will be back up in Brisbane for Junglettes, but the best way to find her is by emailing her by hitting this.
We have had a good few years together up here and have learned a lot from each other. The Junglettes crew wont be the same. I wish her well and hope her time in Melbourne is MASSIVE!
>>>> Another legend to be leaving is Mr Kazu Kimura.
Sources tell me he is moving to Spain. Generally he is in Australia about 4 months out of every year, so the news is not surprising. The 'sunshine state' is gonna need some new talent to step up, but Brisbane will never have it so good again.
>>>> oh yes. ..
I am also 29 in 5 days.

This is gonna be very interesting indeed.
There is a poll currently running on In The Mix on who will be champion.
If you want to vote, have your say, or just rabbit on shit, go here.
Also in need of mention, the girls edition of Beats Me at the Emerald Room of the Pavillion went very well on all counts. All the womern whipped the dancefloor into an absolute frenzy!
As some of you know i have moved and have been layin pretty low.
It's been good to take some time off. Gigs are on their way again and as you can see so is some more content on the site.
I have been debating whether or not i should throw up some more photos of me into the gallery here.
If you are reading this and you think i should hit me at midflight1@yahoo.com. I'm interested to hear your thoughts - constructive imput only please.
As you can also see i will have a link up on the site for you lot to download sets.
You will know it is download time when three things happen:
Till then you are going to have to sit tight and keep smiling...

He leaves for his home back in the UK after a cathardic journey here in Brisbane Australia.

2004.
Been gallavanting through Sydney again. Can't stay away from the place. Should have picked up more wax instead of that addidas jacket - but it was cold!

Also coming up on December 5 I'll be getting down with my DnB sisters at Junglettes! It's gonna be a wicked gig. All the Djs are all highly skilled DnB & Jungle chicks.

There's a call out for Brisbane Djz. Get involved!
The Flyers for the new techno event at The Monastery called Tek-nique are out. Partygoers and punters from all over are raving mad about it's artwork. If you have seen it, you can have your say about it here.
The artist responsible for the caricatures on the back of the flyer is the talented Jon Sommariva. He's is part of a group of designers called Led Heavy, and if you dig comic art, you'll love their stuff. The flyers can be found at The Monastery nightclub... unless I have handed you one first. Check Jon out.
I'm gonna be heading outta town as from the 28th of this month for about two weeks. If you want to make contact email me here.
It's looking like Eclectic Media are going full steam ahead! Their lines are still open and are welcoming talent from all over, so be sure to get in touch!
There's a new site kickin around on the web with it's spotlight exclusively on Brisbane. It's content including forums, news, profiles, a gallery, useful links and a listing of upcoming events. The name of the new site - Fusing Brisbane - says it all, so you wont have a hard time finding it on the super highway.
Some good news for Brisbane Djz. A new agency is setting up shop in Brisbane! These dudes have worked for some big names overseas and are settin up shop here in bris-vegas. They are called 'Eclectic Media'. If you want to be on board their deadline is Wednesday March 19. For more info you can call them at 0422 11 2277 or 0422 897 000, or mail them here for Tara, or here for Andrew.
Some more good stuff on it's way. This weekend will have another 'Rudebwoys' at the Underground Bar in Fortitude Valley. Local nutter Ash is holding another one of his legendary jungle gigs for a meager $5, and there's Scrumpy Jack on tap. These parties have an awesome vibe and all the djs there really work it. a well wicked gig. Bring your addidas - i'll be taking photos for In The Mix.
Speaking of ITM. You may have heard by now they are doing VIP memberships. there's somre pretty good stuff you can get by joining up. Want more? Go to ITM.
An announcement for you tech-heads out there in Brisbane: The Monastery is getting some talent in to play up the underground. I have been booked for a solo on Wednesday 23 April, and an update is on it's way for you lot who dig Mix N Fx...
Godfather is da bomb! He's at "images". NO STEALIN.
Yo all! I'll be outta town for a couple of days but you can still fill the inbox at yahoo if you want. I'm taking off to hang with my bro Kris and were headin off to see Dj Godfather Friday night at the Chinese Laundry. Then Saturday were checking out Speedy J live - along with the other crud playin at the Sydney Two Tribes festival.
Personally it's just gonna be good to get outta town and get some perspective, and will be good to fly again. Thousand of Kms away from any equipment except for my cannon, comfy leather seats and my new John Birmingham novel. This is the stuff dreams are made of.
It's been an interesting year for us in 2002. The scene took a left turn and the fluffy prog stuff that so many of the Djs here in Brisbane Australia worship had to take a seat while Hip Hop came back in town and sank it's teeth in. We had some awesome shows from Shadow, J-Rock, Q-Bert + Jazzy Jay, Herbalizer and 1200 Techniques. Plus the live shows were everywhere.
One claim to fame for Brisbane - for those of you who own the latest Jurassic 5 album - is one of our local buskers and his flute featured on the album. Nice one!
The tech heads have also gotten more of their share of the pie with the advent of a few Djs touring and showing the masses how it's really done. Luke Slater was booked to play at Advent'jah, and Kazu has also been booked to play techno amidst the hard house and prog stuff. It's incredibly good news for the small tech community, and were hopin to see more of it. I played at Advent'jah when Luke S and the Orb played. Sill heaps of prog around though.
DJCam would like to say a big thank you to those of you who turned up and gave it your absolute best at the last two Liquid Bass parties in 2002. You are the ones that made it spectacular...you know who you are.
's goin on all..
(yes they annoy me too).
or alternatively if you live in Brisneyland you can come to my gigs.

Thanks to the Sentinel, Razorgirl and the Muse for all the quality time. There's nothin like being with those you love to really clear yo head. Cheers guys.
Unfortunately for the 313 underground there weren't many movements. Sydney and Melbourne got Derrick May,
Dj Godfather and Kevin Saunderson, but the 313 underground is still in it's infancy in the Australian scene. It did take it's first few steps last decade but at present it's takin it's mid-morning nap.
Most of the underground highlights of 03 - aside the major HipHop acts to grace our shores - tasted of DNB. The Amen flava is going strong and it was very cool to be a part of it all.
Respect to those in the know...
Bring it!
It's got a tasty selection of techy tunes you'd hear played at places like the Chinese Laundry Sydney, where i had lots of fun over the weekend!
It's at the Moonbar - top level of the Empire Hotel Fortitude Valley, kicking off at around 9pm.
